What! An H&R break-open single shot? I wouldn't be caught dead with one of those. Other than that, I thought it was killer.

“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished by how much he'd learned in seven years.” Mark Twain (apocryphal)

Did you post this thinking nobody would be reminded of horrors that may have been visited upon their lives?

Or did you post it assuming others would be hurt, but it was worth it because you may garner some nebulous interweb leetness for cinematography?

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
― Muhammad Ali

This is a project that a friend of mine did for an animation class. It is a graphic depiction of his suicide. Let me know what you think of his work.

This is NOT real

I will not be looking at this. I do, however, want to know what is meant to be accomplished by the "graphic depiction of" suicide. Is this supposed to give us empathy, or just to shock us? As far as I can see on the surface, there is nothing to be gained by that type of video. Certainly I could be missing something significant by not watching, but I will not take that chance. This is FAR to serious of a topic for there to be any chance of misinterpretation.

If you have a question for the creator, contact him through his youtube channel.

"This is a project that a friend of mine did for an animation class. It is a graphic depiction of his suicide. Let me know what you think of his work.

what part of that do you not understand?

No, and fortunately for you I am fortunate not to have personal experience with this. But I am also confident that some of our foo-friends have had their worst days revisited just by reading your thread title. And then to read in the topic that you have assembled a graphic representation for teenagers at school to watch, well golly pal don't mind if I think you're a thoughtless tool looking for some shock value.

I think he's an ass hat. Any questions?

The credits and stuff were actually pretty good imo...it was the content that needs work..the lighting is horrible..the overhead shot of the dude was shaky and I wasn't so keen on the music

The point I was trying to make was the credits and other stuff were too long. They comprised over 60% of the length of the piece. The guy kept showing his name over and over. In a piece this short, we really only need to see his name once.

thanks for your comments.

BTW, I really don't care one bit what you think of me(this was posted here to get your thoughts on the video).
